This corner of Chengdu was known by many names: Shaocheng (少城), Luocheng（罗城）, Mancheng(满城)—each name a chapter in its 2200-year saga.

Why here? What did daily life feel like for the bannermen and their families who called it home—sipping tea in hutongs, training in courtyards, or weaving local flavors into their northern traditions?
